As a result of the intervention, all services that were affected in the area have been fully restored.
On July 26, GTT’s cell site tower in Diamond, East Bank Demerara, collapsed across the East Bank Demerara Highway, causing a reduction in mobile coverage in the area. According to reports, the tower collapsed around 03:00h during a prolonged period of bad weather.
The company has noted that investigations are still ongoing, however, the result of field tests will determine whether there will be a replacement of the collapsed tower. The 3G site is functioning efficiently to service all customers in the area.
